9 And Zimri, captain of half his cavalry, conspired against him, while he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza the steward at Tirzah.
10 And Zimri went in and struck him and killed him, and reigned in his place.
11 And it came to pass when he reigned, when he sat upon his throne,
12 that he killed all the house of Baasha, according to the word which the Lord spoke against the house of Baasha, and to Jehu the prophet,
13 for all the sins of Baasha and Elah his son, as he led Israel astray to sin, to provoke the Lord God of Israel with their vanities.
14 And the rest of the deeds of Elah which he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
15 And Zimri reigned in Tirzah for seven days. And the army of Israel was encamped against Gibbethon of the Philistines.
16 And the people heard in the army, saying, Zimri has conspired and killed the king. And the people of Israel made Omri the captain of the army king in that day in the camp over Israel.
17 And Omri went up, and all Israel with him, out of Gibbethon; and they besieged Tirzah.
18 And it came to pass when Zimri saw that his city was taken, that he went into the inner chamber of the house of the king, and burnt the king's house over him, and died,
19 because of his sins which he committed, doing that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, so as to walk in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins wherein he caused Israel to sin.
20 And the rest of the history of Zimri, and his conspiracies wherein he conspired, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
